- Clinical entity encompassing an acute deterioration of liver
function in patients with underlying chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, which results in failure of one or more organs and high short‐term mortality
☞ Heterogeneity of definition (Up to 13 definitions published) ☞ Prevalence: 25 to 40% of cirrhotic patients admitted to the hospital ☞ Mostly Viral and/or OH chronic liver disease ☞ Triggers: Bacterial infections, OH, Viral relapse, Unknown (20‐45%) ☞ Organ failure (SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) : Kidney (56%) > Liver > Coagulation > Brain > Circulation> Lung (9%)

- Aims
- Characterize the liver histological features in ACLF
- Investigate whether histological parameters can determine
the prognosis and differentiate end‐stage fibrotic liver disease from ACLF
- Study whether etiology influences histology–prognosis
relationship

LB helpful for (1) Prognostication, (2) Differentiation acute liver failure from acute‐on‐chronic liver failure, (3) providing clues to the underlying etiology (might influence treatment strategy)

SLIDE 21
- Required in settings of
- Diagnostic uncertainty and/or concurrent liver disease
- Determine the accurate staging of ALD
- May help to evaluate the prognosis in alcoholic hepatitis
SLIDE 22
- Assess the value of early liver
biopsy in patients with acute deterioration of alcoholic cirrhosis
- diagnose ASH
- grade the severity of ASH
- determine its prognostic value
- Liver biopsy performed between
days 1 and 7 of admission

- Disagreement in >30% of cases
- ver the definition of hepatocyte
ballooning
- K8/18 immunostaining, facilitated
mutual agreement by the pathologists on Ballooning item
- The score loss of K8/18 staining
(indication of ballooning degeneration) was correlated with ASH grading (r = 0.7, p <0.0001)
- Fibrosis
- Cirrhosis (75%)
- Incomplete cirrhosis (16%)
- Indeterminate cirrhosis (9%)
- Steatosis
- No (31%) & Mild (36%)
- Moderate (17%)
- Marked (16%)
- ASH grading system
- Grade 0 / absent (54%)
- Grade 1 / mild‐moderate (21%)

- ACLF
- Syndrome characterized by acute and severe hepatic abnormalities in
patients with underlying chronic liver disease or cirrhosis
- In contrast to decompensated cirrhosis, ACLF has a high short‐term
mortality, mimicking the prognosis of acute liver failure
- Concerns mostly Viral and/or alcohol chronic liver diseases
- Liver histology is a good predictor of outcome
- Stage of fibrosis (>F3), extent of ductular reaction, ballooning, apoptosis
and parenchyma left are independent pronostic factors
- Alcoholic Liver disease
- Liver histology is performant for diagnosis and prognosis
